Mothers and Daughters in Healthy Relationships, page 20
Elaine Taylor will present three courses designed for women acting
in the role of mother to a girl(s). Each course focuses on a different
age group, because as our daughters grow, so does our relationship.
Grades K – 4: Discussion will be about the world your daughters
live in, how you can stay connected to that world, the balance
between friendship and parenting, and the foundation of a relationship for the years that will follow.
Grades 5 – 8: Focus will be about establishing and maintaining
healthy relationships with your older daughters. You will explore
the messages that your daughters have been given to this point so
you can have a greater understanding of their perspective.
Mothers of Adult Children: This course is designed to support
relationships between two adult women and will touch upon
boundaries, communication, personal values and relationship
desires. Because these relationships are often inter-generational,
discussion will be about how that may impact your adult
mother/daughter relationship.

Taliesin West and Cosanti – 20th Century Architecture
with a Vision, page 17
Build your appreciation for two great 20th century architects by touring Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West and
Paolo Solari’s Cosanti, City of the Future. Private lectures
will discuss the works and concepts of these architects
who left their footprint on history. Taliesin West is a wellknown example of Wright’s ability to integrate indoor and
outdoor spaces in harmony. Cosanti, meaning against
things, is a fascinating study of Paolo Soleri’s antimaterialist stance. Travel to Scottsdale with us for
another weekend of cultural appreciation.
